Thanks to Dr. Linjun Zhang of Rutgers University for joining us for our Friday Seminar Series last week! Dr. Zhang gave a talk on “Evaluating LLMs When They Do Not Know the Answer: Statistical Evaluation of Mathematical Reasoning Via Comparative Signals.”

Last night, statistics went On Tap! as our own Dr. Erin Schliep shared how statistical thinking helps us understand data across nearly every area of science. A big thank you to everyone who joined us!

Dr. Srijan Sengupta @SrijanSengupta7 (pictured far-right, along with fellow faculty from @NCStateSciences and @NCStateEngr) had the pleasure of meeting famed astronaut Christina Koch during her recent visit to campus last week. xitter.cf/NCStateSciences/status…
